Nights With Uncle Remus

Nights With Uncle Remus

by Joel Chandler Harris

Nights with Uncle Remus is a collection of African-American folktales compiled by Joel Chandler Harris. The stories are told by Uncle Remus, an elderly African-American man, to a young white boy. The tales are full of humor, wisdom, and insight into the human condition. Harris first published the stories in a series of newspaper articles in the 1870s and 1880s. They were later collected into a book in 1883. Nights with Uncle Remus was a huge success and helped to popularize African-American folklore. The stories have been adapted into numerous films, television shows, and other works of art.
